There is an old adage among lawyers that says,“If you have the facts on your side, pound the facts; if you have the law on your side, pound the law; if you have neither the facts nor the law, pound the table.” This seems to be the Republican strategy these days with respect to Trump.… Continue reading August 10, 2024

It appears that Trump could not handle being labelled a coward and has agreed to the original debate scheduled for Sept. 10th on ABC. That should prove to be quite the show. A detail-oriented, woman of color, and former prosecutor versus a misogynist, racist, convicted felon. It will certainly be interesting. If I were to… Continue reading August 9, 2024

I, like most people these days, get flooded with emails of all kinds, some invited and some not. It is true that I am partially responsible for this daily barrage. For example, I subscribe to a site, Word Guru, which sends out a ‘Word of the Day’ every day. It appeals to the nerd in… Continue reading August 8, 2024

The second guessing has already begun about Vice President Harris’s choice for her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. Walz, by all accounts is a down-to-earth, midwestern guy who taught school, was in the National Guard, served in the House of Representatives, owns guns and hunts, and supports a woman’s right to choose. The choice… Continue reading August 7, 2024

As I said previously, any… Continue reading August 6, 2024

The next few weeks/months are going to be a roller coaster ride taking twists and turns many of us can hardly envision. The stock market is plummeting as are markets around the world on fears that the U.S. economy will fall into a recession following the recent weak jobs report. Many economists and Wall Street… Continue reading August 4, 2024

In typical Trump fashion, he is apparently trying to control and change the narrative surrounding a debate with presidential nominee, Harris. Biden and Trump had previously agreed to a debate scheduled for September 10, 2024, hosted by ABC. As soon as Harris took over after Biden stepped down, she immediately agreed to the same debate… Continue reading August 3, 2024

There have been many articles in the last few weeks about what a second Trump administration would look like. There have also been many articles about Project 2025 and the draconian plan to undermine democracy, attack the rights of various groups of Americans, embark on mass deportations and install an authoritarian, Christian nationalist government similar… Continue reading August 2, 2024

It has been well known for a long time that Donald J. Trump is a racist and misogynist. The more he and his minions deny those claims, the more they are proving to be true and, in fact, are getting worse. His constant harangue against immigrants has nothing to do with jobs. It has everything… Continue reading August 1, 2024

It is becoming clearer and clearer the Republicans have a strategy to install Trump in the White House, regardless of the election results. If no candidate in a presidential election reaches the required 270 electoral votes, the U.S. House of Representatives is tasked with electing the President. To do this, each state delegation is awarded… Continue reading July 31, 2024
